Psalmi 123

1 Hodočasnička pjesma. Oči svoje uzdižem k tebi koji u nebesima prebivaš.

Yahweh, I look up toward you, up to heaven, from where you rule.

2 Evo, kao što su uprte oči slugu u ruke gospodara i oči sluškinje u ruke gospodarice tako su oči naše uprte u Jahvu, Boga našega, dok nam se ne smiluje.

Like servants ask [IDM] their masters [for what they need] and like maids ask t their mistresses [for what they need], we ask you, Yahweh our God, [for what we need], and we ask you to be merciful to us.

3 Smiluj nam se, Jahve, smiluj se nama jer se do grla nasitismo prezira.

Yahweh, be very merciful [DOU] to us because [our enemies] have acted very contemptuously toward us.

4 Presita nam je duša podsmijeha obijesnih, poruga oholih.

Rich people have made fun of us for a long time, and proud [people] who have (oppressed/acted cruelly toward) us have acted toward us as though we were worthless.
